Eh...I prefer the old one, but this one is nice....

[R`0`K`R]

For the first time in my life I just had a panic attack.

For any of you who haven't had one, it's one of the most surreal weirdest things to happen to you.

I have felt so stressed out recently. I've been pledging to a Business Fraternity, I'm taking 15 credits this semester, I'm also involved in two club organizations here at VT and it all hit me at once. My face and my hands went numb. Then I had shortness of breath. I couldn't stop walking around. I just kept thinking "what the hell is happening to me??!!!" I also tend to bottle up my emotions which I know is not good for you at all.

I called my parents and then talked to my roommates and eventually I started to feel OK again.

But I've come to the conclusion that I can't pledge to this Business Fraternity anymore. That really makes me upset because I've put sooo much effort into it.

I just realized that you live in Virginia... wow, I am slow.

Sometimes it is the effort you put into something that makes you realize that you just cannot do it... I mean eventually, if not throughout the whole thing, you would have to put in just as much effort and unless you found a way to take less credits or be involved in less club organizations, it would end up the same way. Aye, glad to know you are doing better though.

OMG R0k
I've had one of those panic attacks and is no good for your health, I was so scary when I had one of those, my heart was beating so fast and all..like Ke and Khai said, prioritize your health

[R`0`K`R]

A business fraternity is just like any other fraternity but they are professional and you do business oriented tasks. I'm a Marketing major so I knew that it would have been perfect for me. And pledging to the fraternity is equal to about taking on 3 extra classes. It takes up a lot of time because you have to memorize a lot of information and they quiz you every week.

Thanks for your response kai, it means a lot.

[R`0`K`R]

thank u diario and kesh!! panic attacks are soo scary. And i've talked to like my roommate before cause he's had 4 panic attacks since august and I guess I never really understood the craziness of it.

[DIARIO]

^yeah, I had like a thousand of panic attacks and on my summer break!
dunno why I was so bad, I had to talk to my father so he could calm me down, It was freaky!

[R`0`K`R]

Yeah, when i first called my parents i could hardly breathe and my dad was like "whats wrong son???? are you on drugs??" LOL and I was like "no.......i......just......can't......i....don't.. ....know..."
I felt all scatterbrained and stuff. It's definitely a surreal thing.

[DIARIO]

that scatterbrained feeling is so scary! I also thought I may have a heart attack

[Arith]

Even though I dont like you the least, I'd never wish anything bad on anyone. If you're stressed out, you should relax and have fewer committments. I think it also sucks to have to not take that Buisness Fraternit cause it seems like you really wanted to do it.

[R`0`K`R]

wow, Arith thanks for your comment. I know we're not the best of friends lol, but that means a lot.

[DIARIO]

oh and I forgot to say R0k, you can talk to me whenever you are in trouble..It's good to know that there are people to count on when you are in trouble

[R`0`K`R]

Definitely, thanks

Diario <333

[DIARIO]

[:On:]

I gotta say, woah. Yeah, too much stress can be bad. Feel better, aight?

[Fireman25]

i hope you feel better

[Departure]

Sorry to hear this about that. I've never had one unfortunately....Lol. But yeah, it's 2 in the morning...I ought to hit the bed!!!

[dnr928]

I have an anxiety disorder, so I'm used to it. Just take a deep breath and relax.

[Travis10]

I've been in a similar position. Just breathe and take it easy when the opportunity arises. Also, putting in a little time to do something physically recreational/leisurely enjoyable and/or beneficial helps the stress off as well. - (I.e. cardio, playing some hoops, video games, etc.) And lastly, just hanging around with your true buds can be beyond theraputic at times. (or at least for me...)

You're doing awesome and more then what some college students (*points to self*) are currently doing with or without a fraternity; just remember to enjoy life. : ] !
